Abstract
Prospects for the study of Higgs boson pair (HH) production in the HH → bb4l (l = e, ¯ μ) channel are studied in the context of the High-Luminosity LHC. The analysis is performed using a parametric simulation of the Phase-2 CMS detector response provided by the Delphes software and assuming an average of 200 proton-proton collisions per bunch crossing at a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV. Assuming a projected integrated luminosity of 3000 fb−1, the expected significance for the nonresonant standard model (SM) HH signal is 0.37 σ; a 95% confidence level (CL) upper limit on its cross section is set to 6.6 times the SM prediction. The statistical combination of five decay channels (bbb¯ b, b ¯ b¯ττ , bb¯γγ, bbWW, b ¯ bZZ) ¯ results in an expected significance for the SM HH signal of 2.6 σ and an expected 68% and 95% CL intervals for the Higgs self-coupling modifier κλ = λHHH/λSM HHH of [0.35, 1.9] and [−0.18, 3.6], respectively.
